Willie le Roux got his first taste of senior provincial rugby for the Boland Cavaliers, but he moved to Griquas in Kimberley at the end of the 2011 season and has since relocated to the Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. He is a strong and elusive runner with ball in hand and a prolific try-scorer, as well as an excellent goal kicker. He has been one of the Cheetahs' stars in recent years and can play fullback, wing or even flyhalf.
